When purchasing a new car, owners typically receive two car keys, which are usually provided at the same time. Here is relevant information: 1. Reasons for not receiving the second key: The vehicle may have been used as collateral by the dealer. This type of collateral is not reflected on the motor vehicle registration certificate but involves the vehicle's certificate and the second key. Once the dealer releases the collateral, the owner can retrieve the second key and the vehicle's certificate, which does not affect the vehicle's registration. 2. Safe places to buy a car: Purchasing from a brand's 4S store is the best option, as these vehicles are shipped directly from the manufacturer to the dealer, bypassing any intermediate collateral procedures. Some car dealers or direct stores may use the new vehicle's certificate and second key as collateral when facing financial shortages, but this does not affect the sale of the vehicle.

Does the 2020 Vision have tire pressure display?

20 Geely Vision models come standard with tire pressure monitoring. The tire pressure values can be viewed in the tire pressure option under the application menu on the central control screen. Here is more relevant information: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system sensors monitor the air pressure in the vehicle's tires and transmit the tire pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle, alerting the driver to check tire pressure by illuminating the tire pressure monitoring system warning light. 2. As the component of the vehicle that directly contacts the ground, tires bear multiple performance aspects such as driving force and braking force. The vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system not only serves as an active safety system to avoid tire blowouts caused by excessively high or low tire pressure but also extends tire service life, maintains vehicle fuel economy, and reduces wear on the suspension system. 3. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when the tires are cold and inflated to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure (as indicated on the tire pressure label). If the tire pressure warning light illuminates, it indicates that one or more tires are significantly underinflated. In this case, stop as soon as possible, check the tire pressure, and inflate the tires to the correct pressure. Driving with significantly underinflated tires can cause overheating and lead to tire failure. Additionally, underinflation reduces fuel economy, shortens tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and braking performance.

How to Activate Voice Control in Volkswagen Tharu?

During driving, you can activate the voice assistant by using the wake word. There is a voice button on the right side of the steering wheel that can be used to make phone calls. After activating via voice, simply give commands to the voice assistant. If your vehicle lacks a voice recognition system, you may consider installing a smart rearview mirror as a solution, or upgrading the infotainment system.

Can New Energy Vehicles Be Charged with Household Electricity?

New energy vehicles can be charged with household electricity. Definition of New Energy Vehicles: The definition of new energy vehicles varies by country. In Japan, they are commonly referred to as "low-emission vehicles." In 2001, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Ministry of the Environment, and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry formulated the "Low-Emission Vehicle Development and Popularization Action Plan." The plan categorizes low-emission vehicles into five types: natural gas-fueled vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, methanol-fueled vehicles, and clean gasoline vehicles that meet the strictest emission and fuel efficiency standards. Current Development Status of New Energy Vehicles: Song Qiuling, Deputy Director of the Department of Economic Construction at the Ministry of Finance, stated at the 2018 China Automotive Industry Development International Forum held in early September 2018 that "the development of China's new energy vehicle industry is still at a critical stage where it must forge ahead or risk falling behind." First, the frequent recent incidents of spontaneous combustion have undoubtedly cast a shadow over the new energy vehicle industry. "As an emerging field, new energy vehicles still face theoretical and technical challenges," said industry insiders. According to incomplete statistics, there were at least 10 reported cases of electric vehicle fires in the first half of this year.

Do Motorcycles Need to Be Charged?

Motorcycles need to be charged. If not used for a long time, they should be charged once a month to keep the battery powered. The battery will slowly discharge on its own if not in use, so it needs to be charged. If left uncharged for an extended period, the battery will lose its ability to hold a charge. Battery: The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It refers to a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the condition of the vehicle. Battery Replacement: If the battery is dead, it is recommended to first measure the battery voltage. If using a multimeter, measure the battery voltage when starting the engine. You can initially use a high-frequency discharge meter or a battery tester to measure. Under a load current of no less than 110 amps, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable within 5 seconds. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can stabilize within 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge, and the battery should be recharged promptly.

Does No Response During Second Attempt Count as a Second Ignition?

After a vehicle has been submerged in water, the starter motor will only engage again if the engine has stalled. If the starter motor does not respond at this point, it is considered a second ignition attempt. A second ignition refers to the situation where the car stalls underwater, and the driver turns the key to ignite the engine again while still submerged. If the vehicle is covered by flood insurance, the distinction between not attempting to ignite and attempting a second ignition can determine whether the claim is payable or not. Engine Damage: Typically, if a vehicle stalls in water, there is a 50% chance of engine damage. However, if the engine is restarted after stalling, the engine is almost certain to be 'totaled.' No Compensation: Whether driving or parked in a residential area, underground garage, or street, vehicle owners must never attempt to restart the engine after it has stalled due to water submersion. Some insurance companies include a clause in their flood insurance policies that exempts them from covering damages caused by a second ignition attempt after the engine has stalled due to water. This means that if the car is submerged and the owner attempts a second ignition, resulting in engine damage, the insurance will not compensate for the repairs, even if the vehicle is covered by flood insurance.
